Why Zach Braff Returned to Broadcast TV With ABC’s ‘Alex, Inc.’
Adopted From: hollywoodreporter.com
Published: MARCH 25, 2018
At the moment, there’s something Zach Braff wants so much that he can practically taste it.
It’s not television success. He already experienced that when he starred on NBC’s Scrubs. And it’s definitely not becoming an acclaimed filmmaker. That happened when he wrote, directed and starred in the 2004 feature Garden State. It’s not even scoring a big TV comeback. His new ABC comedy Alex, Inc. (bowing March 28) checks off that box.
No, what Zach Braff really wants right now is that chocolate chip cookie sitting in front of him as he begins a phone interview.
“It looks really delicious but…,” he says, holding for a very long beat, “I’m going to be good. I’ll wait.”
There’s no reason to doubt him. If there’s anyone in Hollywood with decent impulse control, it’s Braff. After all, since Scrubs ended in 2010, he could have had his pick of any starring role in a sitcom but, he admits, he “wasn’t even entertaining the idea” of a return to network television until Alex, Inc. crossed his path.
The single-camera comedy is based on the podcast StartUp, which tells the story of former NPR journalist Alex Blumberg’s attempts to start his own podcast company. Braff stars as Alex Schuman, a father of two with a cautiously supportive wife (Tiya Sircar from NBC’s The Good Place) who is launching a podcast business with his cousin (Michael Imperioli). This family oriented fare may seem like a departure from the quirkiness of Scrubs and the intense introspection of Braff’s feature films, but that’s precisely why he wanted to do it.
“Like most actors, I was thinking that when I do come back to TV, it’d be something cool on a streaming channel where they do these amazing shows I binge just like everyone,” says the 42-year-old native of South Orange, N.J. “But when you have a piece of content that’s as broadcast-friendly as Alex, Inc. is, there’s no need for it to be anything but PG. We all agreed this is what there’s more room for on TV.”
